GLAZING-STRiPr 7 Specification of Letters Patent. -Pat nted July 28, 1914.

Application filed February 11, 1913. Serial No. 747,819.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS E. WEAVER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pelham, in the county of Mitchell and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Glazing-Strip, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention appertains to glazing strips, and is particularly an improvement over the glazing strip disclosed in my former Patent No. 947,139 issued January is, 1910.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved glazing strip for securing window panes within window sashes, in a convenient and efficient manner.

With the foregoing general object outlined, and ether objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it bein understood that changes in the precise em odiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing, wherein the invention is illustrated in its preferred embodiment, Figure l is a fragmental perspective of a window sash embodying the improved glazing strip. Fig. 2 is a sectional view illustrating another use of the glazing strip.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, the window sash 8 is provided with the usual rabbet 4 in which the window pane 5 is seated, whereas in Fig. 2, there is illustrated, an intermedi ate stile 3 of a window sash having the opposite rabbets 4:, in which the panes 5 are seated, it being understood that the present improved glazing strip is applicable to vari ous forms or styles of window sashes.

The present improved glazing strip has been denoted generally bv the numeral 6, the same being bent or folded longitudinally, or on a longitudinal line, to provide an outer flange or leaf 7 and an inner flange or leaf 8. The leaf 7 is convexed' or curved laterally, whereas the leaf 8 is flat and relatively narrow, the outer leaf 7 being provided with a series of apertures directly adjoining the inner leaf 8.

In applying the glazing strip to the sash, the leaf or flange 8 is brought flatly against the window pane, and the edge of the outer leaf or flange 7 is seated in the rabbet, nails, tacks or other securing members being passed through the apertures in the flange 0r leaf 7 and being driven into the sash. Thus, the inner flange or leaf 8 will bear firmly against the window pane so as to hold the window pane in firm position and to prevent its becoming loose or rattling. The draft created by the securing members 9 will cause the edge. of the outer leaf or flange 7 to bite or engage the sash, the said leaf or flange being flexed or sprung due to the curvature thereof, so as to yieldingly support the inner flange or leaf 8 against the window pane, it being noted that the edge of the inner flange or leaf 8 terminates short of the rabbet. It is therefore of importance that the outer flange or leaf 7 should be bowed or convexed laterally in order to provide the proper flexibility and in order that the edge of the outer flange or leaf will properly engage or bitethe sash. It will also be noted that the means for securing the glazing strip in position is independent of the glazing strip itself, so that the glazing stripmay first be positioned and may then be secured in position by inserting the nails or other securing members through the outer leaf or flange and driving them home by any suitable implement.

The adjoining ends of the several glazing strips secured to one window-sash may be made to fit each other, by coping the end of one glazingstrip as indicated by'the numeral 10, Fig. 1, to fit over the outer flange or leaf of the adjoining glazing strip.

The present glazing strips may be readily detached from the window sash, as well as being readily applicable thereto. The glazing strips will hermetically seal the window and will exclude the ingress of air, rain, moisture and the like around the edges of the window pane, and will also cause rain, and the like to be shed from the window pane without passing under the glazing strips. The other advantages of the present device will beapparent to those versed in the art.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is In combination, a window sash having a rabbet a window pane seated in the rabbet, a glazing strip bent on a longitudinal line to provide a laterally convexed leaf and a relatively narrow fiat leaf, the fiat leaf rest- In testimony that I claim the foregoing as ing against the Window pane andthe edge inyown, I have hereto afiixed my signature 10 of the convexeod leai bitinghthe rfibblet, and in the presence of two Witnesses.

securing niem ers passed t roug t e convexed leaf directly adjoining the fiat leaf THOMAS and taking into the Window sash so as to flex Witnesses: the convexed leaf and cause the flat leaf to I. T. CLIATT,

bear firmly against the Window pane. .;1 H. B. SPENCE.
